A doz n years ago the site upon which
the building now stands was bleak and
barren waste Of swamp and lnorass, to-
day il is in the midst of the most fash
ionable portion of the capital. This was
the most important step that was made
in developing the west cld section OF the
city, ana for several years the house
stood almost alone in sn almost wilder
ness. The tide of Improvement did not
follow directly in its wake, bat eventually
fashionable people began building about

Among these objects there appear to me
most prominent and attractive the ascer-

ration of the administrative and clerical

provision of buildings for pOstoffices in
communities of such size as to require an
Office independent OF private affairs; the
extension and perfection of the system OF
free delivery until all communities enjoy
its privileges which are so situated as to
make il their due; the thorough reforma-
ton of the system Of employing and pay

Gshment of additional fast mail service

instruction and examination OF persons for

enlargement Of the foreign parcels postsys'

In the matter of removals and appoint
ments. concerning which there has been
much speculation and some exaggeration,
a conservative course is shown to have
been pursued. The number OF what are
known rs presidential offices Is 1885. In
these, there have been $40 new appoint
ments on the expiration of commissions,
ATS ON the voluntary resignation and sixty
five on the death of the incumbents, while
313 remain unchanged and twenty-seven
have been reappointed. The whole num-
Der Ofsuspensions or removals IN this class
is 500, number very little in excess OF
the voluntary designations. In the fourth
class offices the record is very similar. The
whole number of offices of this class is ST.

345 designations, 1,243 deaths and 1905
removals. The Postmaster General esti'

the past four weeks the receipts OF the
Office have run $500 ahead of the amount
received for the same period last
year. The various manufacturers
have siguifed willingness to lend help

lopes, etc, to large amounts. Let the
good work proceed. BellGire is rapidly
taking to metropolitan ideas.
There is some talk of permanent Dem

Mr.. GEORGE and Mr.. POwDERLT are
sparipg in their respective organs. Mr..
POwDERLY recently put on bard gloves
aud tackled Mt GEORGES notions about
land, maintaining that the ideas which
the X. of L. represents can alone redeem
workingmen aud abolish poverty. MIR.
GEORGE retorts that Mr.. POwDERLY means
we'll enough, perhaps, but lacks knowl-
edge, having no settled aud adequate plans
tor the improvement of the condition Of
the laboriny masses other than the appli.
cation Of trades union principles TO the
masses OF the uuskilled.
In spite of the intimation which MIR.
GEORGE makes in recent issue OF the
Standard that it will probably be advisa-
BILE for the United Labor party tie run him
as a candidate for the presidency next
year, the issues which he represents have
ceased 10 excite discussion or interest
among the public. Whether Mr.. Pow
DERLY's views be the best or not for the
workingman, certain it is that the Master
Workman is not a crank.

Rainy Day Amusement.
Knn,th,a Oorsnnni0n.


Some time must elapse before our school
system shall include the training Of the
hand to dexterity and the eyes to exact OBJ
servaticn. Meanwhile, the rainy days are
at hand and the deep SHOWS are not far Oh,
when boys and girls will hunger for some
thing to do and the illimitable out-of-doors
will be sternly closed to them.
Then countrp boys will have q resource
in the barn or the s1'., "Sere they can
use their knives, cut their fingers, make
things" and play many games. We saw
a knowing father the other day helping his
son construct, in corner of an old shed, q
rough but efficient carpenters bench, with
drawer in it for the tools, and screw to
bold a board while it was being planed; all
rough, strong and handy. 1t will be a
wonderfully nice thing to have about
house, good for both father and son.
CITY boys cannot all have such con-
venience, but many of them Gun, and,
when they can, it is pitO they should ne
denied it. In many houses little room
or part of an attic or a light corner OF q
cellar can be spared for the children 5
bench and tools.
It does them a world OF good, besides
combining their litter" and noise to
small part of the house where it does n t
annoy Others. With a little help and
sympathy, too, they will often become
really expert in carpentry, and make con-
venient objects and repairs for their rela-
| tions and friends.

EDITOR HALsTEAD's very amusing arti-
Gle in the Forum, before referred TO, on

laid him open to a great many thrusts and
stabs from his esteemed contemporaries.
His Argument, it will be remembered, IS
that because tine colored people no longer
rush to the polls 10 vote for Republican
candidates they are DISTINGUISHED by in-
timidation, and that, therefore, the four
teeuth amendment to the Constitution IL
nullifed. This ~ the old bloody-shirt-

Ttaclilng..-A Profession.

Every man should regard his pro-
fcssion with pride. lie should see III
it something to challenge his admira-
tion and win his affections. He should
seek to view it on its sunny side aud
in its f,ircst aspect. He should feel
that love and regard for if that inspir-
cs him with energy and enthusiasm in
its pursuits, that enables him to tri-
nmph over it's difficulties, and even to
glory and rcvel in its clIarnis. l!o
who looks upon his profession with
disfavOr, who thinks mcanly of his
labors, and speaks disparaginsly OF
those who belong to it, will newt
ably he Il drone. His labor will press
upon him as drudsery, The actions
of all his powers will bc sluggish,
aud in despising the pleasures Of pro-
icssional piidc, he misses the finest
enjoyment of active lite. There is no
feeling more degrading to II man than
the thought that he is engaged III u
business of which he is ashamed, than
tn feel that other men look upon him
with contempt because he labors in II.
Ii STILES every attempt to cXcel. IL

sinks him to the rank ola slave. In
one sense of the idea, there is no call
ing which possesses claims to dignity

the greatest earthly fame. The hum

his back the day long may possess the

noblcst object for which any man can
live is without doubt, the cultivation
of that part of him which Is impcrisl.
